WILLIAM J? FQAIYKEJYSIEI/Y Patented July 20, 1954 UNITED STATES PATENT QFFICE 22 Claims. 1

This invention relates to improvements in cartons or boxes and particularly to cartons or boxes of the knocked-down type.

Foldable boxes of the knocked-down type are old and well known. The present invention being directed to improvements therein when formed particularly of a single blank and the cartons or boxes disclosed in this application, by way of iilustration of the invention, are improvements on the box or carton disclosed in applicants Patent Re. 21,158. The cartons or boxes of the present invention are primarily intended for producing insulated packages for insulating the contents thereof against the atmosphere and will find their uses, amongst others, as a cigar humidor, frozen food package or container, a package insulated against shock while in shipment and containing frangible articles and a package for shipping and displaying a plurality of articles of contours resulting in cross sections that are not uniform throughout their lengths or heighths.

It is, therefore, the principal object of the present invention to provide an insulated package, the carton of which is formed of a single blank of cardboard or paper material so designed as to readily accommodate insulating filling or packing material. 7

Another object of the present invention is to provide a carton or box of the knock down style formed from a single blank of card or paper board material that has spaced apart walls to receive insulation that cooperates with an insulated bottom.

It is also an object of this invention to provide a carton or box to accomplish the objects set forth in the preceding paragraph and in which the blank provides a lid or cover integral therewith to insulate the normally open upper end of the box or carton.

A further object of the present invention is the provision of a carton or box of the knock down type formed of a single blank of card or paper board material having Walls capable of insulating the interior from the surroundings together with a lid or cover separable from or integral with the box or carton likewise capable of insulating the contents of the box or carton from its surroundings.

A still further object of the present invention is the provision of a box or carton for accomplishing the above objects that is simple of con struction. erectable from a fiat or knocked-down condition to a usable condition and economical to manufacture and acquire consistent with the purposes to be accomplished thereby.

Other objects and advantages of the present invention should be readily apparent by reference to the following specification considered in conjunction With the accompanying drawings forming a part thereof and it is to be understood that any modifications may be made in the exact structural details there shown and described, within the scope of the appended claims without departing from or exceeding the spirit of the invention.

Throughout the several views of the drawings similar reference characters are employed to denote the same or similar parts.

It should be noted that the various modifications illustrated in the drawings and above briefly described are based on the blank illustrated in Fig. 1, said modification merely adding to or subtracting from the basic elements of the blank of Fig. 1. As noted above similar reference characters will be used to designate common elements and panels in the modifications with their bases in Fig. 1 except as were specifically otherwise indicated.

underlying thought of the present invention is to provide a carton or box of the fcldable variety that can be shipped to the user in a knocked-down condition and can readily be set up for use and which carton or box will receive retain in position insulating or filler material. As noted above it is proposed to insulate the contents of the box or carton against the surrounding atmosphere, heat, cold and humidity to insulate the contents of the carton or box against breakage by shocks or jolts to arrange articles relative the box or carton for proper shipment display therein whether said articles are plural in number and differ in physical dimensions or whether said articles are single or plural in number and due to their cross sectional variance are of non uniform contour. Various speciiic uses of the carton or box will be made as the specific description of the modifications proceed.

Specifically, and referring to the drawin particularly Figs. 1 to 4. inclusive, the blank and the carton there shown comprises a panel 45 that forms the base of the carton and bounded by score or fold line 45, ii, 48 and 453. As is customary the score or fold lines i! and 49, being the longer of the bounding edges of the panel 65, will be referred to as sides while the score or fold lines it and .78 being the shorter, will be referred to as ends. The panel 45 has integrally hingedly connected to its sides, respectively, through the score or fold lines s? and 59 similar extensions 56 and which form in the erected carton the side wal s and since they are substantially identical it is deemed sufiicient if but one or" them be de scribed in detail.

Accordingly, extension 5% is subdivided longitudinally with parallel score lines 52, 53, 54 and 55 into a plurality of parallel panels 56, 5?, 58, 59 and 68 located between the score or fold line .9 and outer edge of the extension 5|. In the erected carton the panel 56 forms the side wall outer wall member and has its ends defined by score or fold lines [it and 52 which are in substantial alignment with end score or fold lines 45 and t8 and the width of said panel 55 determines the height of the side walls. The panel 5? is of a length substantially equal to the length of the panel 58 and has its ends defined by out lines 55 and (it which are in substantial alignment with the-score or fold lines 5] and 52. The panel 58 in the erected carton forms the side wall inner wall member and it is of a length substantially equal to the length of the panels 55 and 5i having its end defined by score or fold lines '55 and 55 in alignment with the cut lines 63 and (it. The height of the panel 55, or the side wall inner wall member, is less than that of panel 55, or the side wall outer wall member, whereby its lower edge is spaced above the carton bottom panel 45 for a purpose that will later be made clear. The panel 53 in the erected carton forms the side wall bot tom Wall member and is of a width substantially equal to the width of the side wall top wall mem her or panel 5?. The ends of the panel 59 are defined by out lines El and 58 which slightly taper so that the outer sides of the panel 59 are shorter than the inner side thereof. The panel 50 constitutes a fastening member or glue flap for which purpose it is provided with adhesive 55, shown with said adhesive below the panel as illustrated in Fig. 1.

The side wall inner wall member or panel 5& is provided near its outer corners with elongated apertures is and it which cooperate with end wall locking tabs, as will later be pointed out, in locking the walls in their erected position. In addition the said side wall inner wall member or panel 58 has integrally hingedly connected therewith through its ends score or fold lines 55 and 5t, respectively, tucking flaps l2 and 75. The said tucking flaps l2 and is are respectively provided with a score or fold line l4 and 15 which are in substantial alignment with and extensions of the score or fold line 53 and the said score or fold lines M and "i5, respectively, integrally, hingedly, connected with their respective tucking flaps l2 and 3, a spacer flap l5 and ii.

The carton bottom panel 45 has integrally hingedly connected therewith through the end score or fold lines 55 and d8 extensions 18 and 15 which are substantially identical in construction and respectively form an end wall for the carton and it is deemed sumoient if but one of them be described in detail.

Accordingly, the extension ii; is provided with a plurality of score or fold lines 85, Si and 82 providing the said extension parallel panels 85, $4, 55 and lit located between the score or fold line 45 and the end of the extension iii. In the erected carton the panel 53 forms the en wall outer wall member and has its ends defined by score or fold lines at and The panel 83 is of substantially the same width as the side wall outer wall member or panel 55 and constitutes the height of the carton. In the erected carton the panel 35 constitutes the end wall inner wall member and has its ends in the main defined by score or fold lines 85 and 59 which are inwardly spaced from the end wall outer wall member or panel 53 thereby resulting in a shorter panel since this end wall inner wall member or panel 85 is positioned between the side wall inner wall members or panels 55. The panel 85, between panels 83 and 85, in the erected carton forms the end wall top wall member and has its ends contoured or biased as at St and 92 which serves the dual purpose of ornamentation in the erected carton and the connecting of the shorter panel 85 with the longer panel 83. The height of the end wall inner wall member or panel 85 is less than the height of the end wall outer wall member or panel 83 wherefor the lower end of the end wall inner wall member or panel 85 is upwardly spaced from the carton main or bottom panel 55. The remaining panel as of the extension it is a spacer panel for maintaining lower end of the end wall inner wall member or panel as from the end wall outer wall member or panel 83 so that said end wall iiembers are parallel to one another and maintained in this relation after assembly.

The end walls outer wall members or panels 83 have integrally, hingedly, connected thereto through the score or fold lines 87 and 88 a corner piece 93 each or which has a second edge thereof integrally hingedly, connected to the adjacent end of the side wall outer wall member panel through the score or fold lines Bi and 52. Each of said corner pieces is provided with a diagonal score or fold line 95 whereby the said corner pieces may be folded on themselves and then disposed transversely of the carton main or bottom panel as will later be made clear. The end wall inner wall members or panels 35 each has integrally, hingediy, connected to its ends, respectively, through the score or fold lines 89 and 99 a spacer tab 9-5 and 55 adapted, in the erected carton, to space the vertical edges of the said end wall inner end Wall member from the outer wall member or panel The end Wall inner wall member or panel in addition has projecting, respectively, from its opposite ends a tab 5i and. 98, which may be termed locking tabs adapted to enter the elongated apertures T5 and H of the said wall inner wall member or panel 52 for lockthe walls in their erected positions.

In practice and after the blank has been cut and scored as just described adhesive 59 is applied to the undersurface of each of the fastening or glue panels til whereupon the said panels be are folded on the score or fold lines 55 onto the side walls bottom wall members or panels 59, or the said panels are first folded on the score or fold lines 55 and then the adhesive 59 applied to the now exposed surface or said panels 55 whereupon the extensions are folded on the score or fold lines 52 to bring the glue flaps 55 with their adhesive as into engagement with the side walls outer wall members or panels 56 and pressure is then applied to effect the adhesion of these parts to one another. The blank is then in the position illustrated by the upper part of Fig. l and as further illustrated in cross section in Fig. 2 and it is in this position that the blank is shipped to the user for sub-sequent erection and filling.

-he user upon desiring to erect the carton in order to place therein merchandise raises the side walls from their folded knocked-down position to be normal to the carton main or bottom panel 45. This results in the said side walls being in the positions illustrated in Fig. 3 with the said side walls inner and outer wall members 55 and 58 spaced from one another having the top wall member iii, joining the to. or the upper ends of the said and outer side wall members to one another and with the bottom wall member 553 joining the lower end of the lime wall member 58 to the outer wall member but at a point upwardly of the lower end of the outer wall member and thereby providing a space between the said side walls bottom wall members and the carton main or bottom panel 45. This: space is indicated at ea in Fig. 3 and is occupied by a filler let. The filler its may be formed of insulating material which can act as a platform or as material that will retard the passage therethrough of heat and cold. The said insulation-filler lilil is an area substantially equal to the area of the carton main or bottom panel 45. After the placement of the insulation-filler material lflil the tucking flaps l2 and 7. 3 at opposite ends of the side walls inner wall members 58 are folded to be disposed transversely of the insulation-filler Hill whereupon the spacer flaps i6 and ll, respectively carried by the tucking flap l2 and 73, are folded to be parallel with the insulation-filler Hlil all as clearly illustrated in Fig. 3.

The corner pieces or bellows corners 93 are now respectively, folded on their diagonal score or fold lines 54 and are further folded to be transversely of the carton main or bottom panel l and which folding of the corner pieces automatically raises or the folding of the corner pieces 93 is automatically effected by the raising of the end wall extensions 18 and T9 to be upstanding each as a unit, to the carton base or bottom panel 45. The said extensions are respectively folded inwardly on their score or fold lines to dispose the end wall top wall panels 84, at the top of the end walls outer wall members 83, to be parallel with the main or bottom panel whereupon the end walls inner wall members 85 are folded to be disposed downwardly of the end walls top wall members 84 and to be parallel with the said end walls outer wall member. Previous to this folding of the end walls inner wall mem- Walls inner wall members and the end walls outer 3 wall members. The walls are locked in their erected positions upon the snapping or insertion of the end walls inner wall members locking lugs 9'! and 98 into the side walls inner wall members locking apertures Ill and H which operation automatically takes place upon the final positioning of the end wall members.

From the foregoing it will be noted that the box or carton is provided with an insulated or built up bottom which extends throughout the area of the carton and beneath the spaced apart side and end walls; the disposal of the insulation and filler beneath the end wall is clearly illustrated in Fig. 4. It is contemplated and as will later be made clear that the side walls and the end walls may be provided throughout their length with insulation or filler material similar in all respects to the bottom insulation-filler material I00. This insulation-filler may be made of lengths equal to the length of the carton side walls outer wall members and with the end walls lengths of insulation filler shorter than the width of the carton by an amount occupied by the material in the two side walls or of a length substantially equal to the length of the end walls inner wall member, or any other method or means of insulating the said side and end walls may be employed, as will later appear.

It may be desirable that the bottom or base insulation filler material I00 not cover the entire carton main or bottom panel but only cover such an area as between the side walls outer wall members and the end walls inner wall members and such a construction is illustrated in Figs. 5 to 8 inclusive. In this case the carton blank has its end walls forming extensions 18 and i9 modified to the extent of making the end wall inner wall member or panel 35' of a height equal to the height of the end wall inner wall member and eliminating from the said end wall extension i8 and '19 the spacer flap S6. Otherwise the blanks are substantially identical and are formed and shipped to the user in the same manner as the blank disclosed in Fig. 1 and above described.

Upon assembling or erecting the blank of Fig. 5 the same steps are followed except that in the final positioning of the end walls inner wall members 85 the lower ends of said end walls inner wall members are disposed behind the end I0! of the insulation filler loll as illustrated in Fig. 8. From this it will be seen that the insulation-filler H10 extends entirely across the carton main or bottom panel to underlie the side walls as illustrated in Fig. 7 while the said insulation filler Hi0 extends only up to the end walls inner wall members as illustrated in Fig. 8.

Instead of having the base or bottom insulation-filler mil arranged as in Figs. 3 or 4 or as in Figs. 7 and 8 it may be desirable to have the said insulation-filler disposed beneath the carton or box end walls but merely between the side walls inner wall members. This construction is illustrated in Figs. 9, 10, ll, 12 and 13, and necessitates the modifying of the blank of Fig. l principally to the extent of making the height of the panels or inner wall members 58 the same as to the height of the panels or outside wall members 56. This construction may be further modified by the elimination of the side walls bottom wall members 59 and making the panels thereof as the fastening or glue flaps to which would then be intgregally hingedly connected to the side walls inner wall members or panels 58 through the score or fold line 54. This glue flap 60 instead of being attached to the side wall outer wall member or panel 55 would be attached directly to the carton main or bottom panel 15.

The user would erect the knocked-down or folded blank of Fig. 9 in the same manner as the erection of the blank of Fig. l. The resulting carton however would have the insulationfiller Hill" extending transversely of the box or carton only between the side walls inner wall members 58, as illustrated in Fig. 11, while the said insulation-filler illil would extend completely under the carton end Walls as illustrated in Fig. 12.

Asdescribed above the side and end walls would be provided with insulation or filling material, corresponding to that on the carton main or bottom panel and that said wall insulation would be in the nature of strips. En Fig. 13 the insulation for the side and end walls is illustrated as integral with one another and comprising a base portion I02 adapted to be received, or enfolded in the end wall between the end wall inner and outer wall members 83 and $55. Projecting from the ends of the wall insulation-filler base 92 are arms H 3 and it which are disposed in the side walls between the said side walls inner and outer wall members 56 and 58. It is contemplated that the insulation-filler arms E03 and Hi l will be formed to a length substantially equal to one half of the length of the carton or box and that the said insulation will be introduced into the side Walls from the opposite ends thereof. In other words the walls insulation would be in the form of a U-shaped unit consisting of a base IE2 and arms 33 and EM from the opposite ends of the base I92.

In order however to utilize U-shaped walls insulation units the side wall inner wall members will have to be shorter than the outer wall members and this construction is illustrated in the modification of Fig. 9 wherein the score or fold line 65 for the end of the side wall inner wall member panel 58 is shown as inwardly spaced from the score or fold line GI that defines the end of side wall outer wall member or panel 56. The inward spacing of the score or fold line in Fig. 9 is substantially equal to the width of the end .wall top wall member which determines the depth or thickness of said end Wall. It will further be understood that the Walls insulation-filler units, if employed, with the construction of Figs. 9 to 12, inclusive, will have the lower end of its base I92 relieved to permit the insertion therebeneath of the bottom insulation-filler IIlIi" while the arms I03 and I04 will be of a heighth substantially equal to the heighth of the carton side walls, and should the said wall insulation-filler unit be employed with the modification of Figs. 5 to 8, inclusive, the base III? of the insulation unit would be of a heighth substantially equal to the heighth of the end walls while the arms I03 and Iilt would have their lower ends relieved to permit the insertion therebeneath of the bottom insulationfiller IIIII. It is of course understood that with the modification of Figs. 1 to 4, inclusive the heighth of the wall insulation units base Hi2 and arms I 53 would be equal to the heighth of the end walls and side walls above the bottom insulation filler I 08.

The box or carton formed of either of the modifioations heretofore described would be supplied with a lid or cover which would likewise be provided with insulation or filler material. This lid or cover may be of the separable type and telescoped onto the box or carton or it may be formed integral with one of the box or carton side walls, or the lid or cover may be hingedly attached to one of said side walls although separably formed, or the lid or cover may be divided and each portion of the divided lid or cover, respectively carried by one of the carton or box side walls. There is illustrated in this application an example of each of the foregoing types or kinds of lid or covers that disclosed in Figs. 14 to 18, inclusive, illustrating a lid or cover integral hingedly connected with one of the carton side walls and formed from a single blank that includes the carton or box and its cover or lid.

As shown in Fig. 14 the blank of Fig. 1 is modified to the extent of providing the lid or cover forming portion between the score or fold line 52 and the side wall top wall member or panel 5'! in the extensions 5| of the blank. This cover or lid forming portion is provided with a plurality of score or fold lines I95, IE6, I81, I08. Hi9 and III) the latter integrally hingedly connecting one of the side walls top wall member or panel 5? with the lid or cover forming portion. The score or fold lines N25 to I It, inclusive form between the score or fold line 52 the said side wall member or panel 51 parallel panels, III, H2, II3, II4, H5 and H8.

In the erected carton the panel III forms the lid or cover outer member and has projecting from its ends similar extensions and said panel has each of its ends defined by a score or fold line H8 which is in substantial alignment with the bottom or main panel end score or fold line it and it and which score or fold line I is integrally, hingedly, connects with the panel III a foldable flap III) that is folded onto the panel to provide strength and a finished appearance to the end of the panel III. The panel H2 in the erected carton provides a flange on the cover or lid and is adapted to be adhesively secured to the cover panel III and for which purpose the panel III may be supplied with adhesive IZII. Ihe length of the panel H2 is substantially equal to the length of the panel I l I between the score or fold lines H3, one of said ends being shown as a out line I2I.

After the blank has been cut and scored as above described the various score lines are broken, that is, the blank has the several panels individually raised on their score line whereupon the panels are allowed to fall back to their normal position. It is at this time that the adhesive is applied for the several panels, namely, along the outer edges of the cover outer panel I I I, as indicated at we and Hill or glue flap to as indicated at 6B. The blank upon further passing through the machine has the portion thereof beyond the score or fold line I folded to bring the panel I i2 into engagement with the adhesive I 2b where-- upon the portion beyond the score or fold line Iilt is reversely folded to bring the panel H3 on top of the panel I I2. The portion of the blank beyond the score or fold line It]? is again reversely folded thereby bringing the panel H6 into engagement with the glue or adhesive IN on the opposite side of the panel III and at the same time bringing the glue flap (it, with its adhesive e9, into engagement with the side wall outer wall member along a zone outwardly of said main panel side score or fold line 49.

The blank is now in the position illustrated in Fig. 15 it being understood that the other side of the blank, as exemplified by the side wall extensions 553, having been folded and secured as above described in connection with the blank of Fig. 1

The user upon desiring to set up the box or carton erects the same in the same manner as above described in so far as the box proper is concerned. To form the lid the cover inner panel I I I is arranged to be parallel with the cover outer panel I I I and spaced therefrom by the panels I I3 and H5. The said cover inner and outer panels are spaced from one another at their ends by tucking flaps I22 and I 23, respectively, integrally, hingedly carried by the said panels III-l and H4 through score or fold lines In and I 25 at the ends of said panels H2 and IE3. It should be noted that the score or fold lines I 2 5 and I25 are inwardly of the score or fold lines I I 8 of the cover outer panel a distance substantially equal to the width of the end walls top wall members B l. The cover inner and outer panels I It and I I I are further spaced from one another by end tucking flaps connected to cover inner panel by score or fold lines I 29 and each longitudinally divided by a score or fold line I26 into panels I27 and I28, the former acting as a spacer panel and the latter as a tucking flap. To finish the end of the cover the said cover outer panel III has its flap I I9 folded on score or fold line lie to lie against the said cover outer panel III and it is against this infolded flap that the tucking flap I28 of the cover inner panel engages.

The portions of the cover outer panel that project beyond the ends of the cover inner panel l :4 act as flanges at the ends of the said cover as do the overlapped and glued portions or panels Hi5 and l l2 for the sides of the cover. In other words the cover has a peripheral flange entirely there around with a central depending portion which is spaced from the cover outer panel and which depending portion fits within the spaced inner side and end wall members. The said spaced portion of said cover is adapted to receive suitable insulation or filler material iiiii which may be of any suitable or desirable characteristics.

One of the uses to which the package of the blank of Fig. 14 and set up as in Fig. 16 would be put is a cigar box or humidor. In using the package as a cigar box the bottom or main panel 45 would support the filler insulation material I83 while the hollow side and end walls would enclose filler-insulation material either in strips or utilizing the substantially U-shaped filler of Fig. 13 and including the base W2 and arms I93 and Hit. In this case the material list carried by the lid or cover may conveniently take the form of absorbing material for carrying a humidifying agent such as water. To permit the humidified air to escape from the said material I30, the lid or cover inner panel lid is illustrated as provided with a plurality of apertures [3L It is of course understood that should the package be utilized for some other purpose, such as a package for frozen foods, the apertures 53! may be omitted and the material I36 made as insulating material to prevent transfer of heat or cold into or from the package. In this last instance,

namely, as a frozen food package, the material We may take the form of compressed carbon dioxide or Dry Ice.

In the event that the package is utilized as a cigar container or cigar box for housing either 25 of 50 cigars, as is the usual practice, and since the said cigars are placed in either 2 or 4 rows and thereby having an unequal number of cigars in each row, use may be made of an additional filler in the form of a sheet of card or paper board E32 having an over-all area substantially equal to the area between the side walls inner wall members 58 and end walls inner wall members 85 with one end of said filler I32 creased or scored to fold into a box at one end thereof and which box is illustrated in Figs. 16, 1'7 and 18. As there shown the said box comprises upstanding portions i33 and I34 joined at their upper ends by a horizontal portion I35. In order to anchor the piece I32 in position it is provided with a fiange its extending from the upstanding portion l3 i which is adapted to be inserted behind an end of the insulation-filler or shown in Fig. 17 or may underlie the end wall inner wall member 85 and its spacing flap 88 if the form of Fig. 1 or Fig. 5 is employed.

The disclosure in Figs. 14 to 18, inclusive, shows the lid or cover integral with the box proper or carton and formed from the same blank while in Figs. 19 to 22 inclusive, there is illustrated a separate lid or cover for attachment to one of the modifications illustrated in Figs. 1 to 13, inclusive. As disclosed in Fig. 19 the separate lid or cover comprises a blank longitudinally scored to provide fold lines iSl, H38, wt, 46, it! and [G2 to provide panels l e-3, ltd, M5, M6, Ml, I48 and M9. The said panels 13 to I68 inclusive are substantially identical with the panels Hi to H6 inclusive with the added panel 5 18 which acts as a spacer panel as Well as a glue flap.

The ends'of the panels 243 to his inclusive, are defined in the same manner as the ends of the above mentioned panels of the blank of Fig. 14, with said cover or lid outer panel provided with the score or fold line H8 for connecting thereto the in-folding flap I it. The cover or lid inner panel It! has connected thereto through the score or fold line 629 the closing flap i2! and tucking flap 128 which are integrally hingedly, connected to one another by the score or fold line I26. The side spacing panels his and bid have each connected therewith the spacing flaps E22 and through score or fold lines lit and E25.

The cover or lid of the blank of Fig. 19 is provided with adhesive let on the under face of the panel M23 as illustrated in Fig. 19 while the cover or lid outer panel M9 is provided along its longitudinal sides and inwardly of the score or fold lines i353 and 139 with adhesive liil and N32. The blank of Fig. 19 is folded as illustrated in 21) which consists in folding the panel i 33 and ltd on the score or fold line I33 to thereby bring the panel Hi4 into engagement with the adhesive 65! and expose the adhesive 15% on the panel M3. The portion of the blank on the other side of the cover or lid outer panel N39 is folded on the score or fold line 239 to bring the panel into engagement with the adhesive 152. A. reverse fold is then effected on the score or fold line Mil bringing the panel Hit on top of the panel 35 whereupon the blank is again reversely folded on the score or fold line i 'i thereby bringing the combined spacer and glue flap panel Hit into engagement with the previously exposed adhesive of the panel Hi3. Suitable pressure is applied to assure the adhesive of the various panels to one another that has adhesive between them. The blank as entioned above is now in the position of Fig. 20 and it is in this position that the blank may be shipped to the user for subsequent use or applied to one of the cartons of Figs. 1 to 13 inclusive.

The lid or cover may be set up as illustrated in Fig. 21 which merely means the swinging of the cover or lid inner panel it? to be parallel with the outer panel Hi5 whereupon in-iolding flaps Hi3 are folded onto the underside of the said cover or lid outer panel its and the spacing flaps E22 and 23 folded to be transverseiy or the cover and the closure flaps i2? secured in position through the inwardly tucking of the tucking flaps I23.

By this construction there is provided a cover having a peripheral flange similar to that illustrated and described in connection with Fig. 16 and one of said flanges may be employed for the securing of the said cover or lid to the finished carton as clearly illustrated in Fig. 21. As illustrated in said Fig. 21 use is made of a connecting member, preferably of flexible material and located exteriorly of the lid or cover and the carton, and which member is indicated in the drawings by the reference numeral i53. A similar connecting member or hinge i5? may be applied to the flang along the inner side or" the cover or lid flange and to the top wall member or panel 5i of the erected carton. The operation of the lid or cover of Fig. 19 is substantially the same as that of Fig. 14 and above described.

The modification illustrated in Figs. 23 to 26 inclusive is for a separable slip-type of lid or cover for use with either one of the boxes or cartons illustrated in Figs. 1 to 13 inclusive. The

lid or cover however is provided with thickened side walls for a portion only of their height which engages the top wall member of the carton side walls.

The blank as illustrated in Fig. 23 for forming the said cover or lid has a main panel I55 with its opposite side edges defined by a score or fold line I 56 and its opposite end edges defined by a score or fold line iii'i. The score or fold lines I56 each hingedly connect to the bottom panel I55 an extension I58 which are substantially identical with one another in construction while each end score or fold line I51 connects to the main panel I55 an extension I59, which are again substantially identical in construction and operation. I

Each side wall extension I53 is longitudinally subdivided by score or fold lines 35, I El, I 52, I63 and Hi l to form therein between the score or fold line I56 and its end a plurality of parallel panels [65, I53, ifi'i, I68 and see and Ill The ends of each panel M and IE6 is respectively defined by a score or fold line Ill and I12 which are in alignment with one another and with the main panel end scores I51. The panel I66 has connected to its ends through the score or fold lines I12 tucking flaps IlS.

Each of the end wall extensions I59 is subdivided by score or fold lines I'M and I15 thereby providing panels Ilii, I'il, ill} between the main panel score or fold line I5! and the end of said extensions I59. The ends of the panels I'IB are each defined by a score or fold line I19 and I which hingedly connects thereto corner pieces IIlI with said corner pieces IBI likewise being integrally, hingedly, connected through the score or fold lines II'I to the panels I55. Each of the corner pieces I8I forms, what is known as a bellows corner and for which purpose they are each provided with a diagonal score or fold line I532. The panel ill in each extension I59 has a portion thereof of less length than the remaining portion thereby providing shoulders I83 and I84. Each panel I'll is further provided inwardly thereof from the corner of the shoulder I83 and I34 with relatively short converging cuts I85 and 1% thereby placing the shoulders at ends of looking lugs as will later be made clear.

In the erected lid or cover as formed from the blank of Fig. 23 the panel I55 forms an outer wall member while the panels I55 and IE8 form an inner wall member offset by the panel I61 which forms a shoulder. The combined height of the inner wall member panels I 58 and IE8 is less than the height of the panel 5835 thereby providing a space between the inner ends of said lid or cover side walls inner wall member and the main panel I55.

The blank of Fig. 23 is shipped to the user in a knocked-down position such as illustrated in Fig. 24 and to effect this the blank of Fig. 23

after being cut and scored has the panels I69 and I'll folded on the score or fold line I63 thereby exposing the undersurface of the panel I'Iil which becomes a glue flap and when so exposed applying adhesive it? thereto whereupon the panels are folded on the score or fold line I60- to bring the adhesive I81 into contact with the panel I55 through a zone upwardly spaced from score or fold line I55 an amount equal to the difference in heights of the lid or cover outer wall member and inner wall member.

The user upon desiring to set up the lid or cover follows substantially the same steps as above described in connection with setting up the carton of the blank of Fig. l. The set up lid or cover will have the cross section as illustrated in Fig. 25 and each end wall has its inner wall member shorter portion between the side walls inner wall members portions or panels I68 and its longer portion between the side walls inner wall members portions or panels I653. It is at this time that the shoulders or looking lugs I83 and I84 are disposed behind the side wall shoulders as provided by the inner wall member connecting panel I67. In the final assembly of the slip cover or lid the panel I18 acts as a creeper flange and lies on the filler-insulation IiJIJ, and at the same time this panel or flange I18 holds the ends of said insulation-filler "30" at the ends thereof against the lid or cover main panel I55.

It is believed that the operation of the internally shouldered lid or cover is obvious from the disclosure in Figure 25 and that the portion of the side walls outwardly of the shoulder panel I61 telescopically receive or slip onto the walls of the carton or box being covered thereby.

Instead of the panel I'I'B being of a comparatively short length as illustrated in Figs. 23 and 26 to act as a creeper flange the said flange I18 may be formed as a panel I88 illustrated in phantom lines in Fig. 23 and may be of a size to fit within the inner wall members of the cover or lid. By this construction the insulation-filler material I is completely covered and there is exposed to the observer the outer or right side of the board or material from which the cover or lid is formed. Furthermore by this construction any suitable or desirable printing may be done in the blank prior to its assembly and which will be exposed after assembly.

The modification illustrated in Figs. 27 to 30, inclusive, shows the carton having an integral lid or cover substantially centrally divided thereby providing a half cover integral with each side wall. The said figures likewise illustrate one of said half covers as having a flange longituditudinally of its free edge to overlap the adjacent edge of the other half of the cover. The blank for forming the said carton is the blank of Fig. 1 modified as in Fig. 14 with the cover panels substantially identical except of but half the width and located on each side of the carton side wall panels.

Specifically, the blank of Fig. 2'? has the side wall extension 5I formed between its score or fold line 52 and the side wall top wall panel 51 a portion provided with a plurality of score or fold lines I89, I90, I9I, I92, I93, and I94 forming panels I95, I96, I91, I98, I99 and 285 which are substantially identical with the panels III to I I5, respectively, of Fig. 14 except that the panels I95 and I98 are considerably narrower than the panels III and 4. In the extension 56" in Fig. 27 a portion is provided having substantially the same score or fold lines as the corresponding portion of extension 5I" except that the panel I96 is omitted and the panel Isl is connected directly with the panel I95 through the score or fold line I89. A further distinction exists between the extension 50 and EI" in that the panel I95 of extension 50" is narrower by the width of the panel I96 than the panel I95 of the extension 5E The ends of the panels I95 to ZIIIII inclusive, are defined in the same manner as the corresponding panels III to H6, inclusive, of Fig. 14. Specifically, the panel I95 has its ends defined by score or fold lines I I8 integrally, hingedly, connecting thereto the in-folding fiap H9. The

15 panels I91 and I93 have their ends respectively defined by score or fold lines 12% and 125, in the same manner as panel H3 and H5 of Fig. 14, and said score or fold lines [2d and 525 integrally. hingedly, connected to said panels spacing flaps I22 and [23. The panel I93 similar to .the panel H4 has its end defined score or fold lines 23 that hingedly connect thereto a flap longitudinally divided by the score or fold line I26 to provide closing flap l2! and tucking flap E28.

After the blank of Fig. 27 has been cut and scored as above described its various score or fold lines are broken in the same manner as above described in connection with the blank of Fig. 14 whereupon adhesive is applied to the several panels and the folding of said panels is made in the same manner as in the blank of Fig. 14 except that each of the extensions Eli" and 51 are similarly treated and the various panels folded into contact with the adhesive so that a blank folded as disclosed in Fig. 28 results.

The user upon desiring to place merchandise Within the carton of the. blank of Fig. 2'7 sets up the knock down blank in the same manner as the knock down blank of Fig. was set up with the blank extension 55 forming a half cover having a flange 2M, see Fig. 29, projecting from its free end while the half cover of the extension 58 has no similar longitudinal central flange. Extending from both ends of the half covers are flanges which overlap the upper ends of the carton end walls as disclosed most clearly in Fig. 30.

The modification illustrated in Figs. 31 to 34 inclusive is substantially identical with the blank of Fig. 2'7 except that each of its extensions 58a and 51a are formed identically as the extension 513" of Fig. 27, that is each extension having the panels of the same width and which is the width of panel N5 in extension 5i" minus the width of the panel 595 and neither of said extensions 58a and em employing the flange forming panel lSB.

The blank of Fig. 31 after being cut and scored is provided with the usual adhesive and the extension folded to provide the knock down carton illustrated in transverse cross section in Fig. 32. It will be noted that since neither half of the cover of the blank of Fig. 31 has a longitudinal extending overlapping flange the knock down carton in Fig. 32 requires no reverse folding.

The user upon desiring to set up the blank of Fig. 32 proceeds in the same manner as above described with a resulting carton as illustrated in Fig. 33, namely, the cover halves devoid of any overlapping flange. The blank of Fig. 31 diifers from the blank of Fig. 14 and the blank of Fig. 1 to the extent that the end wall inner and outer wall members are of equal depth instead of one of said wall members being shorter than the other. In other Words the end wall extension of Fig. 31 is formed as the end wall extension of Fig. 5 whereupon the said end wall inner wall member depends to the main or bottom panel as illustrated in Fig. 34.

In each of the constructions heretofore described the carton side and end wall are disclosed as of hollow construction that is with the side walls each having spaced apart inner and outer Wall members. In the modification illustrated in Figs. 35 to 39 inclusive the end wall is provided merely with double thickness, that is, inner and outer end wall members that contact one another on their inner faces, the side walls however are of the same construction as heretofore described. This modification consists in merely changing the end wall extensions '5; and ill to the extent of eliminating therefrom the end wall top wall members or panels il l and integrally hingedly connecting to the end walls outer wall panels or members as through the score or fold lines til the end Walls inner wall member panels The said end walls inner wall members or panels 85, since they fit between the side walls inner walls members or panels are shorter than the said end walls outer wall members 33 by the width of the side walls top wall members or panels til as above described.

Projecting from the said end walls outer wall members 83, beyond the ends of the end walls inner wall members or panel are flaps 2&2 and 2% which are adapted to be tucked beneath the side walls top wall members upon erection of the carton as clearly illustrated in Fig. 39. By this construction an additional means is provided for holding the side walls in erected positions.

The blank of Fig. 35 after being cut and scored is glued or secured in the same manner as the blank of Fig. 1 and illustrated in cross section in Fig. 36.

The user upon desiring to set up the carton from the knocked down blank of Fig. 36 does so in the same manner as above described with the additional function of inserting the tabs 2G2 and 2&3 beneath the side walls top wall members.

The separate lid and its attachment to a box or carton as illustrated in Figs. 19 to 21, requires extraneous means, such as the hinge strips or members i53 and tile, in order to attach it to the cart n or box. in the modification illustrated in Figs. 40, 41 and 42 the attaching means are integral with the lid and the carton. The blank of Fig. 40 is substantially identical with the blank of Fig. 19 except that the flange forming panel M35 is provided with a cut to form a lug 266 which is substantially T shaped and has a stem portion 235 connected with the cover outer panel Hi9 through the score or fold line hid, and laterally projecting wing or log portions are and 262. The said wing or lug portions 233 and 25'! are separated from the stem portion 25" by score or fold lines 293 and 2%.

The blank of Fig. 40 after having been cut and scored has the various scores broken as above described in connection with Fig. i l whereupon adhesive is applied to said main panel Hi3 and the panel M3 whereupon the blank is folded to secure the parts, adhesively, to one another as illustrated in Fig. 20. The user upon desiring to set up the lid or cover of Fig. 40 merely swings the said cover panels it? and its to be parallel to one another whereupon the flap H5 is folded on the score or fold line i it to be within the cover pocket and the said panels secured in their spaced apart relation by the spacing and tucking ps $2,423, l2? and 528. By this arrangement the cover or lid has downwardly projecting from it the T-shaped lugs 23 3.

The lid or cover of Fig. 40 is shown in Figs. l1 and 42 as applied to a carton made from the blank of Fig. 1. In order however to effec this attachment the blank of Fig. 1 is modified by providing in one of the si e wall top wall members or panels ill ,a slot or elongated perforation 2 it for each hinge lug 2%, one of which is clearly illustrated in Fig. 42. It will be understood that the elongated perforations or slots 2 l are located in the said side wall top wall member in accordance with the location of the hinge lugs 204 projecting from the cover or lid. The carton blank of Fig. 1 is set up in the same manner as above described.

The user upon desiring to connect the lid or cover of Fig. 40 with the carton folds the laterally projecting wings o-r lugs 206 and 201 on its respective score or fold line 208 and 269 to lie on the hinge lug stem 205 and the parts are then inserted through the carton slots 210. Due to the springiness of the material from which the cover or lid is formed the ears or lugs 2% and 20'! upon passing beneath the side wall top wall member 5! spring back totheir original or normal position as seen in Fig. 42. The springing of the hinge ears or lugs 206 and 207 to their normal position is permitted by the interior hollowness of the said side wall.

It will be understood that the cover or lid of Fig. 40 when erected as in Fig. 41 can receive insulation, absorbing or other filler material to cooperate with similar material within the carton side and end walls and on the carton main or bottom panel all as above fully described.

It will be understood that by utilizing the hinge lug 2&4 in a hollow wall the lug itself moves within the wall oscillating on the said hinge ears or wings 236 and 201 without effecting any bend in the card or paper board material itself. By

this construction the life of the hinge connection or the number of times the lid or cover may be opened or closed is indefinite without crystallizing or cracking of the material in either the carton or the lid or cover.

From the foregoing it should now be noted that there has been provided a box or carton particularly adapted to have integral therewith or releasably or permanently attached thereto a lid or cover or spaced apart insulation package that can be employed for frozen foods, a humidor or any other purpose where it is desired to retard loss of heat, cold, moisture or dryness within the package or carton. It will further be noted that the said packages may be readily supplied to users in a knocked-down condition thereby materially reducing shipping and storage space,

and the incidental cost to shipping and storing, over set up boxes or packages that have been heretofore produced and employed for these purposes. the foregoing cartons accomplishes the objects otherwise initially set forth.
